Jesus is referred to in the New Testament as both the Son of God and the Son of Man. Truly, Jesus is the God-Man; fully God and at the same time fully Man. We can see this clearly as we look at the Virgin Birth, at Jesus’ miracles, at Jesus’ claims about Himself, and at the qualities of humanity.
Read MoreThe cities of refuge in the Bible are spoken of at length in Numbers chapter 35 and in Joshua chapters 20 and 21. These cities were part of the cities given to the Levites, the priestly tribe, to protect a person who caused the death of another accidentally or without vicious intent. Three cities were located on the east side of the Jordan River and three cities were on the west side of the Jordan River—six cities in all.
Read MoreWhat did Jesus mean when He said, “I am the bread of life”? This was significant to the Jews because it was a reminder of what God did for them in Moses’ day. Two breads are discussed in the Old Testament that portray Jesus as the “Bread of Life”— manna and the temple showbread. Grab your Bible and let’s look at the portrait of Christ we see in the bread.
Read MoreTo answer this question, we need to look at three things: the prophecy, the philosophy, and the hypocrisy. What was said prior to the events happening, what the teachers of that day wrongly taught about the Messiah, and what Judas chose on his own to do. So, grab a Bible, and let’s begin.
Read MoreThe easy answer is yes, Jesus is the Son of God, but at the same time, Jesus is God. We need to understand when answering this question that the Bible describes God for us in a way that we can grasp. Can we fully understand God? No. To fully understand God would be to put us on the same level as He is. We are in no way on the same level as God; Scripture makes that clear. Isaiah 55:9 says, “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.” However, relationships and family order are things we can grasp and understand, and God has used those things to reveal Himself to us. Get your Bible and let’s look into this a little deeper.
Read MoreDid the Virgin Birth actually happen? Yes! The Virgin Birth is the foundation upon which our salvation is built. Without the Virgin Birth, Jesus would have had no way of being able to save us from sin because He Himself would have been born into sin in the same way we were. Without the Virgin Birth, Jesus is not the God-man, He is just a normal man, with no way of connecting us to God the Father. Let’s look at why this is true.
Read MoreThere are more than 300 Messianic prophecies in the Old Testament; all of which Jesus fulfilled perfectly.
Read MoreJesus healed those who had been sick for many years. He drove out demons. He gave sight to the blind and caused those who were paralyzed to walk again. He turned water into wine and walked on water. He even raised the dead. Turn to any page in Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John, and you'll probably find Jesus performing a miracle.
After His death on the cross, Jesus really, truly came back to life. This is not some sort of myth or symbol. Jesus physically rose from the dead and many people saw Him and touched Him.
Read MoreIn Scripture, we discover that Jesus’ death was no accident. He was not the victim of circumstances beyond His control. Rather, Jesus intentionally laid His life down to save His people from their sins.
